1 fold,Hero......?

only player i recognise is BU, moderate reg

first 6 or 7 hands of FT, lots of folding but no real reads asides from it seems a little tight

Nasty!
Raising doesn't seem great as we can't really call off anyone except the SB. So we're hoping for 6 other folds...
Shoving 13BB into 7 players seems a little thin but Id probably still do it given your read that they're folding a lot. Folding seems weak but the correct play on some tables.
Right on the borderline for me. 77 gets mucked, 99 goes in and 88... mood/table dependent.

quite possibly the easiest shove ul ever make

Agree that it's a shove. Disagree it's so easy. Why so?

Never shoving

this is pretty much exactly the dilemma I had, and 99 was definitely going in, 77 felt like an easy fold (hence the post)

McKrogh/Mynameis69 - interesting to see such polarised opinions, can you explain why?

Yes but first tell me what u think a default range these villians call with?

Sb is prob a bit wider than the others. So give me a default range for the otber villians....

lol can see why this guy is swingier than Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice.

Raise.

Must admid i loled

Well, it's a pair and given my position, it has a bit more strength to it.
Why not a minbet ? I know it's terrible and all that but so much people seem scared of it and you would jam anyway if any reraises, no ?
I mean, if the guy would be calling your all-in anyway why not try to be creative and make then wonder why you are min-raising UTG+1.

nvm - edited because i'm thick
